Volvo 480 rear bumper bar desperately needed
To replace this. I'm ok with some welding but there isn't much left of this one!

You have my sympathy! Mine was like this back in 2012 (sold in 2015).
It was impossible to find a new one and the trouble is that even if you find a car at a specialist breakers, most were in the same state once the bumper cover was removed. Also the rot gets to the bolt areas. I found a passable one eventually and hammerited it to within an inch of its life. I think you'll have to go online, find who has 480 breakers and then take your tools with you if they will let you have a look yourself? Has the Volvo breakers on the A1 near Bedford got one - Lakes ? |

I tried the Lakes breakers yesterday. They said they would investigate so I'm hoping to catch up tomorrow. I'm more than happy to weld something up but I fear with this one (because of someone using expanding foam to patch it), once it goes to the sand blasters, very little if anything will return.

(Ps it's a while since my 480, but I managed to find new, old stock front and rear clusters and an Info centre at the time, so you never know re the bumper insert!) |
Is this the right thing ?
https://www.volvo-480-europe.org/for...hp?f=8&t=34923 Very old post, that dates back to 2016, but OP advising availability till at least last year. |
Correct - that's the part. I've contacted the member to no avail.
My bumper bar is now at the sandblasters. There won't be much left so I'll fabricate the rest. Time is ticking on and I want the car back on the road. |
